Mr.. George Perry, living on 10th
and South street, had quite a severe
surgical operation performed upon
him Friday for the relief of bad
deformity of the ankle, resulting
from a fracture that occurred nearly
two years ago. The foot was badly
everted and besides he had for some
time necrOses or decay of the
bones. Drs. WinterbOtham and O..
B. Campbell assisted by DR.. Ander-
son performed exeissiOn Of the joint
which is considered a delicate Oper-
alton, thereby hoping to give him re-
lief from the deformity to a great
extent, as well as removing the de-
cayed bone.

The social Of the ladies OF the
Swedish Lutheran church, given at
the residence Of S. Carlberg last
Thursday, was an enjoyable and sue
cessful gathering. The receipts
amounted 10 $24, which will be used
for the church. Col. Rogers was
present and sang, also, piano music
delighted the attendants. The re-
freshments consisted Of ice cream,
cake and lemonade, and the usual
games were INDUCED in. A spirited
rivalry ensued over the scheme to
vote a cake to one Of two handsome
young ladies, and $40 was gathered
from this source. Chinese lanterns
were hung out on the trees Of the
yard and the ladies and gentlemen
used IL for promenading purposes.

A few days since Merritt Springer
came to Salina, and the JOURNAL
noted he had relinqulshed The posi-
tiOn Of city marshal at Marquette, a
nice little town twenty-five miles
west Of Salina. Metaphorically
speaking, when interviewing him he
appeared good deal like a man
who had been running and was out
Of breath; he likewise seemed to be
labOring with n bated breath, and
referring to the marshal's position
he jerked out his words in a manner
which indicated he was most glad to
let go the marshslship. Just what
was the trouble we did not inquire,
and he did not tell us, as he ap-
peared to be sensitive on the point.
We afterwards learned that a DR..
Baird there, known to US as much of
a gentleman, had been arrested by
Springer for refusing to pay his Oc-
cupation Tor polD tax, was fined by
the police judge and put in the Axe
COOLER" through which the rays
of the sun as big as q funnel-shaped
cyclone poured, and DR.. Baird be-
came erazed by the heat. When his
condition became known the citi-
zens tore open the euddy-hOle and
removed the invalid and got after
Springer I'm q manner that made
him imagine fOrked lightning was
coming for him. This paragraph
we copy from a Lawrence paper:
In the town Of Marquette, in Me-
PhersOn county, the occupation tax
question has assumed a serious
phase, and resulted in driving one
man to insanity. A DR.. Baird, who
had neglected to pay his tax, was
brought before the police judge and
fined. Refusing to pay, he was
committed to jail. His friends eff
fected his release by paying the fine,
but the excitement resulted in driv-
ing the doctor 10 insanity, and has
divided the town into warning fac
tiOns that threaten violence.

Thursday the Abilene base ball
club visited Sort Riley to give the
club at that place a few pointers
about the national game. The club
before starting had to draft three or
four substitutes to fill the vacancies
caused by members Of the regular
club being unable to get away from
their business, and the club was ma
terially weakened in consequence.
However they entered the field at
Fort Riley determined to give their
opponents "the best they had in the
shop" The GGzefte's special from
Junction City tells the tale as fol-
lows: "Hurrah for Abilene! The
score stands ten to nine in favor Of
the Abilene ub."-Abilcne Gazette.

Where Bats Spend Winter,

Bats 10 cold climates hibernate during
the winter, Says writer in the San Fran
cisco Cal; 10 other words, they are ena
bled to enter dormant state and live for
months without eating, So complete is
this sleep that in cases examined the most
delicate instrument failed to detect breath
ing on the part Of the animal, and 10 an :
other instance the bat was placed under
water without any apparent harm result
ing from the extended bath. The deep
sleeps are generally passed in trunks OF
trees or caves, and in the latter myriads OF
bats are often found. As soon as the in
sect supply is cut of, atthe commence
ment OF cold weather, the bats take to the
caves and do not appear until spring; but
in this country they are out all winter,
perhaps retiring during unusually severe
cold spells
Bats have their value, and devour large
numbe of insects, from the mosquito to
the larger forms Some ef the American
Indians do not object to roast!bat, and the
big fruitbats of the Indian peninsula are
considered great Injuries by the natives.
As these animals have stretch OF wing Of
five feet, il must require no little moral
courage to eat enc.
In the early geological ages some re-
markabe batlike creatures existed, though
they were 10 reality reptiles; yet some
found east oi.the Rocky mountains we're,
as far as appearances go, enormous tooth
less bats One American form bad a
spread OF wing Of twenty two feet. The
remains OF one OF these giants can be seen
in the museum Of Yale college, with an
other from Europe that is doubtless the
most remarkable flyer ever discovered or
even thought Of Unlike its American
cousin, it was small, and resembled bat
with a pelicanlike bill armed With sharp
teeth. The tail, however, was the most
. sonderful feature. II was longer than |
the body aud terminated 10 a veritable
paddle that was facsiniie OF tennis
racket. and served this curious flyer as
rudder.
